How Copyright Restrictions Suppress Art: An Interview With Nina Paley About "Sita Sings The Blues"

See http://www.questioncopyright.org/nina_paley_sita_interview for details.

This is an interview with cartoonist and animator Nina Paley about how copyright restrictions prevent her from distributing her award-winning, feature-length film "Sita Sings The Blues": the film makes heavy use of recordings from the late 1920s by the singer Annette Hanshaw, and although the recordings themselves are out of copyright, the music is not.
